Apparently, HTML5 is the future. That's what everyone except Adobe keeps saying anyway. Today, I attempted to get with the times and learn the basics of drawing and animating on an HTML canvas.
Before this morning, I had almost no Javascript experience, which is really what HTML5 is. Javascript does everything behind the scenes and HTML updates whatever's on the canvas.
Ultimately, I achieved basic movement. I'm attempting to create a simple game and currently have the character moving via keyboard input. I managed to get something akin to collision detection, but it's far from sophisticated. Timed events are giving me a headache. I should probably get a book on Javascript or something. It's not working at all and I have no idea why.
Still, for a day's effort into completely new territory, I shouldn't be too discouraged.
Boo yeah, internet. Boo yeah.
